Many in the West, in fact, an increasing number, agree with Zaid Hamid, and think that any criticism or negative portrayal of Islam is “racist” and “Islamophobic,” and should accordingly be silenced.
“Indeed, those who malign Allah and his messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.” (Quran 33:57)
Zaid Hamid describes himself as “a veteran of Soviet-Afghan war, presently Strategic Security Analyst & founding Consultant BrassTacks – The Advanced Threat Analysis Think Tank.”
According to their website: “The mission of BrassTacks Think Tank is to provide analysis, study and policy recommendations on the issue of strategic national importance particularly focusing on current restive geopolitics and geostrategic milieu around Pakistan where internal and external threats to the national security have become too challenging to be dealt by any single state organization.”
SKA says
So many Pakistanis are utter blow hards waving around their exaggerated “credentials,” such as multiple Masters degrees from their pathetic colleges.
mortimer says
What this Pakistani ‘security analyst’ is doing is justifying the DEATH PENALTY for apostates who criticize Islam.
The apostasy death sentence is normative Islam, and vigilantism is permitted under discriminatory Sharia law.
Free speech and the freedom of conscience are not permitted under Islam. If a mullah disagrees with what anyone says, his followers will understand that the critic is to be killed.
Ayatollah Khomeini made perfectly clear that Salman Rushdie was to be killed.

If anything deserves examination and criticism it is Moham’s fake religion. Those who think anything is above criticism are stunted thinkers. The followers of Islam cause more harm to non Muslims, and it should be added other Muslims who deviate from the strict path; than any other religious faction on the planet. So being phobic about it is just a logical and healthy reaction
Islam is also a multiracial religion so the racist idea is nugatory.
PMK says
A phobia is an irrational fear. There is nothing phobic about being mindful of the violence Muslims will do in the name of their moon god. Being wary is a healthy reaction to the danger posed by Muslims.
James Lincoln says
PMK,
To your point, it would be irrational to fear the spread of islam.

‘mozlums never insult the religious figures’….that’s pure lying balderdash.
mozlums claim that Jesus was mozlum, that Moses was molzum, that Abraham had something to do with their death cult, and have claimed that when Jesus returns, He will kill all Christians> They also lie about Him in numerous ways and have their fake prophet…the slimy sack of maggot dung, raping Mary in their fake paradise.
It’s a huge *insult* to anyone, religious or not, to be called a mozlum…as in their false claim that *everyone is born* mozlum, when the majority of mankind have nothing to do with the fake prophet, mass-murdering raper of children, sex-slave trading thief and lying son of satan the devil.
each person will reap as they sow. One cannot sow seeds for poison ivy and reap wheat. Anyone sowing evil, will reap a punishment for sowing evil. Murder and attempted murder in the name of satan the devil is a sowing of evil.

The Koran has demoted Jesus from the second member of the Trinity to less than Mohammed! While Jesus in both the New Testament and the Koran is acknowledged to have been sinless and without any character flaws, the Koran admits Mohammed is sinful.
Furthermore, Islamic texts admit Mohammed had a character that was exceedingly unfavorable, and so, he is excluded on the basis of his shockingly amoral and opportunistic character from even being considered a prophet.
Islam’s original sources reveal that he was a plagiarist, a con artist, a highwayman, a liar, an assassin, a pedophile, a shameless womanizer, a promiscuous, cheating husband, a rapist, an enslaver, a genocidal mass murderer, a desert pirate and extorting racketeer, a psychopathic warmonger, an anti-Semite, an intolerant bigot, a spineless coward, and a calculating and ruthless tyrant. This portrait is certainly not the character profile of the founder of a true religion, but that of an amoral cultist, mob boss and scheming politician.
Mohammed’s contemporaries called him a madman, a demon-possessed fortune-teller and a magician. His own followers called him an immoral womanizer. A hadith says when he died all women were ‘licit’ to him. Moreover, he lay in the grave of his aunt’s dead corpse overnight. He wore women’s clothing when he received Koranic inspiration. He kissed the tongues of little children and nuzzled in the chest of his young daughter fatimah. As a 54 year old man he had sex with a nine year old girl. Mohammed had many of his critics tortured and brutally slaughtered. He commanded mass murders of unarmed villagers who didn’t support his new religion. Mohammed lived by extortion and theft. He and his followers became wealthy through plunder.
To present Jesus as less than such an amoral warlord, highwayman and victimizer is indeed insulting to Jesus.
A reasoning person cannot see the moral superiority of Mohammed to Jesus. To the contrary, when compared to Jesus, Mohammed is seen as the most obvious false prophet in history.

Muslims of course regularly insult non-Muslim religious figures.
Mgoldberg says
They blew up the bamiyan Buddhist statues-some 1800 and 1600yr old monuments to the Buddha. They just blow up such things. As for prophets- they. Take over the sites and claim they,re Muslim sites.
Last week, three Muslim 19yo, we’re caught defacing Rachel’s Tomb in Israel. The holy matriarch’s. Site has walls around with soldiers guarding it so the scum of Islam don’t destroy the site nor kill visitors.
This is the disgusting reality of Islam
gravenimage says
Spot on, Mgoldberg. Then, defacing Christian Churches and Hindu Temples is also standard Islamic behavior.
Joe1 says
Everyday the go into churches and temples to destroy religious figures. The man couldn’t be more wrong. In France, 3 churches a day are vandalized. It is about the same everywhere.
Wellington says
Muslims never insult the religious figures of other religions? Well, they don’t insult the ones they have appropriated—like Jesus and Moses. But I don’t think Hindus, Buddhists, et al. would think there is any merit to this statement by Zaid Hamid.
somehistory says
I consider what they say about Jesus and others in the Bible as insults. they don’t appropriate ones like Ahab or jezebel or even Cain, but these are the ones most like them.
raja says
Somehistory,
I don’t disagree with you. What denotes insults to islam and Muslims is purely koran-centered. If they can tweak the narration of what Bible says about Jesus and Moses it is not insult for them. On the contrary, if any infidel just quotes koran or hadith about their prophet it is insult to that evil figure (real or imaginary figure) If fact islam stands for everything contrarian in belief, doctrine and practice which You and I and most JW readers can fathom.
Another so called stumbling block for the bullheaded Muslim is God never reproduces and of his kind to be called son. It is a pure subterfuge and condescending of Christians and Christian doctrines. The Bible NEVER says Jesus was a Son for eternity, (though some stupids propagated such a theory), on the contrary the Son was addressed as You God by Father God in .Heb 8. It is high time this evil is banished from the face of the earth.

mozlums understand absolutely nothing about the Bible. But, they are too arrogant and stupid to realize they know nothing.

Fitna says
Seconded Graven, James and all.
While we all have our differences, I’ve found that most of the posters here are intelligent, astute on Islam and are good, freedom-loving people.
We read these terrible stories of what Muslims are doing or saying and it can be overwhelming since it feels like we’re facing this evil death cult alone.
Obviously we’re not and I’m sure there are millions of us who feel the same about Islam, we’re just not organized yet. But once we do form a mass movement against this ideology then I believe we’ll be an unstoppable force.
The key ofc is education (for those who are unaware). Due to censorship of the media, many people are still pretty clueless. But once the populace understands there are only two kinds of people in the world, Muslims and non-Muslims and what Muslims intend to do with us, it’ll be very easy to get them on our anti-Islam team.
Let’s not forget Muslims have their own thuggish organizations and lobby groups to pressure politicians to take their side on all issues and basically create a de facto Islamic state. We non-Muslims must create our own similar groups to present the other side of the argument and fight back.
Also having such groups will help other non-Muslims feel that they are not alone in this civilizational conflict.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Fitna.
Wellington says
I can see, somehistory, why you would think that what Muslims say about Jesus and other Biblical figures is insulting seen from your perspective—and seen from many other perspectives including mine. But seen from the Muslim perspective (a warped perspective to be sure) Muslims don’t think they’re insulting Jesus and other Biblical figures but they most definitely insult religious figures from religions like Hinduism and so for this turkey to aver that Muslims don’t insult religious figures at all is simply a lie.
gravenimage says
And Muslims insult Jews and Christians who don’t follow the Muslim view–they especially hate Christians who consider Jesus divine.
mortimer says
Reply to Wellington: the Koran and hadiths claim that other prophets were ‘REALLY’ Muslims, and so they ‘make no distinction among them’.
This is an insult not so much to the prophets, but to the followers of those historical figures.
Islam insults our intelligence, because we all know that the prophets of other religions were not Muslims.
A statement in the Koran doesn’t re-write all of religious history just because the Koran says so.
The Koran is absurd nonsense that has only gained currency under the threat of being MURDERED BY MUSLIMS.
somehistory says
Jesus Lives! they insult HIM. And they insult His FATHER. they will pay for those lies that they have told about These Heavenly, Divine Ones.
Infidel says
muslims cannot resist talking about other religions, and when others take offense and talk about islam/mohammed, then they melt down. That was the whole Nupur Sharma incident: muslim panelists were mocking Shiva while discussing the mosque in Varanasi where a Shiva lingam was discovered, and that was when she responded w/ the question about how they would react if she talked about mohammed marrying 6-year old Aisha. And the rest is history
One should be armed w/ an AR-15 and then very aggressively poke those sensitive muslim nerves. And shoot anyone who dares threaten them w/ any consequences
mortimer says
To Infidel: over 60% of the Koran is a rant that Allah hates ‘wrong-worshippers’ (mushrikeen) and people who disagree with Mohammed (kafirs). Allah wants Muslims to hate them too and put them in their place … under Muslim control.
Sharia law states that kafirs do not have the right to speak about Islam or its prophet, so whatever a kafir says about Islam is automatically unacceptable. Only the mullahs have a right to speak about Islam. They can say anything they like, whether true or false.
So, while you are being free in soliciting counter-violence, I remind you that as Hindu, such solicitations of violence will bring you bad karma.
Devasur says
NO, it will not bring you bad karma. if you let adharmic cult-like Islam spread violence and death. That’s what will bring bad karma. Hinduism is not gandhism.
Infidel says
Thank you Devasur. Mortimer knows more about islam than muslims, more about Hinduism than us, and so on

Nupur Sharma was perfectly right and within all societal norms, except the thuggish islam in quoting what is written in the hadiths and perhaps all Islamic jurisprudence.

Fitna says
Infidel you nailed the crux of the problem we have with Islam and what most people don’t get.
In western nations thanks to the traditions passed down from the Greeks, Romans and other advanced cultures, we’ve become ‘civilized’ in that we resolve most of our differences through discussion and debate.
That kind of Enlightenment never occurred in the Islamic world because those who wanted to make a more peaceful Islam that allowed for discussion, instead of fighting, were ofc killed, so Islam remains as virulent and as barbaric as it was 1400 years ago.
This is why Muslims are so violent today, because they are taught to fight and kill those who oppose Islam. There is no room for debate, no mutual respect for religions or other beliefs. There is only the façade of equality that Muslims push when they are weaker than us.
Once Muslims become stronger or outnumber us, then they will give us the option of conversion, dhimmitude or death.
Unfortunately western countries still haven’t figured this out yet that Muslims are not here to be a part of the fabric of our civilization but to burn it and replace it with Islam. They are in an endless state of war so what you said is correct. If they threaten to kill us because of their beliefs, we should be ready to defend ourselves.
If our leaders weren’t such self-serving morons, they would’ve declared Islam to be an enemy ideology already and we’d be in a state of war against Muslims right now.
That’s going to happen anyways as Muslims become bolder and more aggressive, it’ll lead to civil war but it’ll take longer. It’s better they wise up sooner rather than later while the Muslim numbers are still low.
James Lincoln says
Fitna,
I read your post – twice.

That being said, I desperately hope that future civil wars can be avoided in Western countries…

You are exactly right . In fact whenever in a debate they point out to bigotry in Islam ,most muslim apologists try to divert the attention to other non Abrahimic faiths like Hinduism,Buddhism etc .

Pakistani ‘security analyst’ justifies Rushdie stabbing: ‘One sensitive nerve of Muslims you should never poke’
……………………………..
This is how most pious Muslims think. The idea that he is any kind of “security analyst” is just grotesque, but not uncommon.
Ex Sgt Brown says
thanks to Obama America’s security and law enforcement agencies such as the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security and others are barred from studying Islamic plans to destroy America. No longer are they allowed to host guest speakers who know much about Islam. The Islamic zombies have long held death sentence over Rushdie as they do over many people. They cannot study the Koran, They cannot discuss or investigate crimes committed by Muslims. For instance take the Holy Land Foundation trial. The FBI’s fight against terrorism funding paid a big dividend when five former leaders of a U.S.-based Muslim charity were convicted of funneling more than $12 million to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Guilty verdicts on all 108 counts against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development were announced in federal court in Dallas, Texas, representing the largest victory against terrorist financing in the U.S. since the 9/11 attacks. Documents found in the organization’s procession listed nearly every Muslim organization in America as being supporters of terror activities . The FBI investigated this group for nearly 15 years and proved it was funding terrorism…But Obama outlawed such investigations….proving his hatred for America….

Thanks, James, for that link to a JW article from a year and a half ago concerning Philip Haney. We are in profound trouble in this nation and while there are many culprits I place the Democratic Party as chief culprit. Minus the Democratic Party (or its existence only on the fringes of society), matters would be far better, more so than if any other entity were designated chief culprit and then minused. An agency like the FBI is a result of Democrats trying to assume and assure permanent power and not a cause in and of itself. I am convinced that the Democratic Party is beyond reform and I can only wish that a very large majority of adult Americans would see things this way and thereafter distance themselves from said party in all ways and manners.
PMK says
That Muslims are this sensitive to any kind of criticism is further proof that they cannot live in Western societies. We can’t easily get rid of those who are already here, but we can at least bar any further migration of Muslims to the West, no matter what their sect or how ‘peaceful’ they are. That we are already being forced to curtail our freedom of speech to avoid offending them shows the danger they pose to human freedom.
